Re: You gotta Bee-lieve !
Are you going to have five hours of driving in circles talk when the Hornets leave? I mean it must get boring having nothing but wrestling and NASCAR to talk about.

Nearly 56% of the pollsters believe that your fair town can't support two pro sports franchises. (I'm not one of them, but some people would argue about the Saints falling into this category as well)...
But you know what, polls are misleading. As Mark Twain once said, "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics."
So 56% say that they think the city cannot support 2 teams. What does that mean. Nothing. How many of them were asked if they had or would buy tickets to the Hornets? How many were asked if they would support the Hornets? How many were asked if they would buy Hornets merchandise? Those are the important questions.
Also, it's an internet poll. How scientific is that. NOT! How many people voted twice, how many people from Charlotte came over here and voted? So Packman, don't get too smug with these little polls.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ANALYZE THIS POLL, In a metro area of over 1 million, 44% said the area could support 2 teams. That's over 440,000 people. Last I checked, the New Orleans Arena only holds about 19,000 packed.

Well we always knew he didn't have true breakaway speed, even on an interstate. LOL

Seriously, if you won't even try to pick up some of that garbage in your streets, atleast vote and show some civic pride.
If all of our visitors from places like Charlotte would pick up after themselves, we wouldn't have to clean up. But since you visited during Mardi Gras, you got a skewed perspective of our fair city anyway.

It's truly sad that you consider yourself a professional.
